Last summer and early fall, the GPSC invited family doctors in BC to speak up about how they want to practice and care for their patients in the future. More than 30% of family doctors participated in our province-wide engagement process to help create a GP vision for the future of primary care.
The Doctors Technology Office (DTO) supports BC physicians with their in-practice technology needs. Physicians can receive advocacy support and guidance around use of technology in their practices, with a primary focus on Electronic Medical Records (EMR).
Supporting family physicians in providing maternity care services to women in their communities has been a GP Services Committee (GPSC) priority since the committee’s inception. Over the years, the GPSC has supported family physicians in providing this vital service through its funding of the GP obstetric delivery incentive fees, the maternity care network fee, and the Maternity Care for BC program which makes training available to GPs wanting to update their maternity skills.
Doctors can now contact the Doctors Technology Office (DTO) for centralized technical support including support for complex IT technical issues such as: Timely resolutions of clinic issues that affect EMR /network operations.
